Her outfit incorporates elements from Kenji Miyazawa’s “Night on the Galactic Railroad”.

Future Activities and Unit Information

Miryu belongs to a local VTuber unit called “Torch’s” and plans to engage in promotional activities, including programming on Iwate Menkoi Television and distributing content on YouTube. More details about Miryu’s activities and schedule can be found on the official site.

The appearance of “Rindou Miryu” is expected to widely convey the allure of Iwate. A character that embodies local culture and the beauty of nature will contribute to regional revitalization by reaching audiences nationwide. There is a growing anticipation for the development of the VTuber industry and the promotion of regional characteristics.
